PAGE SIX Bill Leonard May Miss West Virginia Contest The Nittany Lion gridders will probably be without the serv ices of their, defensive halfback and extra point specialist, -Bill Leonard in the West Virginia. game Saturday. The pride of State College suffered a strained knee ligament early in the week and although it is still not certain, he will probably miss Saturday’s frey. Paul Anders, Lion fullback, who missed the Michigan State game because of a fractured rib cartlidge suffered in the Nebras ka game will also be missing from the lineup Saturday. The husky line bucker should be ready to play in the Purdue game next week. 1 Two Injured Outside Anders and Leonard, the Lions should be in pretty good shape for the Mountainei contest on Bei ver Field. Cei ter Jim Dool< came out of tl Michigan S t a tilt with a kn< injury and ei Dave Simon su. fered a straini back but boi will be able ■ play again West Virginia. Sophomore Joe Pascarella and freshman Gene Danser were in jured in a scrimmage yesterday. Both men are tackles. The extent of their injuries are not yet known although Danser is be lieved to have'a separation of the shoulder. Pascarella injured an ankle but it is not believed ser ious. Coach Rip Engle sent the Lion gridders through a scrimmage yesterday in preparation for the Mountaineers who piled up 89 points in their last outing against Geneva College. ' Although the Mountaineers, loaded with freshmen and sopho mores, were not expected to cause much trouble this season, Coach Art Lewis seems to have found a winning combination and the men from Morgantown have copped four of five contests, los ing only to Washington & Lee, Southern Conference champion last season. The Mountaineers lost 17 let termen through graduation, in cluding quarterback Bill Allen, tackle John Bove, end Ross Her ron, and extra point specialist Gene Simmons. Passing Team Allen was probably West Vir ginia’s biggest loss but Lewis seems to have found an able re placement in Gerald Mclnemey who has taken the No. 1 job away from returnee Kent Bartges. Lion Assistant Coach Frank Patrick who scouted the Mountaineers described Mclnerney as a good passer and the Mountaineers as a team that likes to pass. Engle will probably give the Lion pass defenders a lot of prac tice before Saturday in order to put the aerial defense in tip-top shape for the game. The spirit of the team, as a whole, is good and the Lions have given indication that they’d like to get back on the win trail after dropping their, second game of the' season last' Saturday to Michigan State, the nation’s sec ond ranking team., Mexican Horse Wins Jump HARRISBURG, Oct. 24—(ff)— India, a second-string Mexican mount ridden by the veteran Capt.

Penn Will Play 4 Ivy League Teams in 1952 PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 24 (AP) —Those rumors of an Ivy League boycott against the Penn football team went back in moth balls today with the disclosure that four of the Quaker’s 1952 gridiron foes come from the Ivy group. The boycott reports began floating about last fall, after Penn’s President Harold E. Stas sen, announced a new “victory with honor” code which made it clear that Penn is after a -■“big time” football rating. Ivy schools, in general frown on building up their football teams and have no great sympathy for strong intersectional schedules. So the word got around that all the Ivy teams with the exception of Cornell and possibly Princeton would bar Penn from their sched ules. f But a Penn informant made it known today that Dartmouth, Columbia, Cornell, and Princeton are back on the Quakers’ 1952 schedule. The Quakers meet those four elevens this season. This news, however, doesn’t necessarily disprove the reports, because a Penn Spokesman point ed out that the university’s foot ball' contracts usually are ar ranged on a two-year basis. Who shows up on Penn’s ’s3' schedule is anybody’s guess. Play Lions Beside the four Ivy, schools, Penn's '52 foes, all ■ major- op ponents, will be Noire Dame. Army, Navy, Georgia, and Penn Slate. This means Ihal Penn is dropping California, Wisconsin, and William and Mary to make way for Penn Slate, Georgia, and Notre Dame. The Irish will open Penn's '52 program. By JOHN SHEPPARD came within 1.6 seconds of break ing the record, as he stroked the 60 yard course in the fast time of 39 seconds flat. George Hamilton, Delta Sigma Pi, set the mark (38.4) last year. The Delts’ Dave Murphy was a double winner, copping the 60 yard breastroke and fancy living event. In one of' the most exciting meets of the season, the Sigma Phi Epsilon mermen eked out a 21-19 conquest over Pi Lambda Phi.
